Kimikimi Antonelli Can't Drive His New Amg Gt63s In Italy

Mercedes AMG rookie driver Kimi Antonelli just took ownership of a new GT 63S but wont be able to drive the car in his homeland Italy, until he is 21-years-old.

Antonelli turned 18 in August last year and cannot drive a car with so much power, according to Italian law. He passed his driving test in January.

The rules in Italy dictate that if you have a driver's license for under three years, then you cannot drive a car that has a power output of over 105kw and have to keep it under 100km/h on highways. The AMG gifted to Antonelli has over 400 kW under the hood.

It would therefore be just but at the same time illegal for Antonelli to drive the rare model AMG in his homeland.

The young F1 driver recently broke the lap record around Suzuka Circuit and became the fastest driver around the Japanese track.
